Storage Tips

Keep your fudge in the refrigerator inside something airtight and it'll be good for two weeks. Need to save it longer? Stick it in the freezer for up to three months—just remember to let it sit out a bit before you eat it.

Slicing Trick

Want picture-perfect pieces? Make sure your fudge is super cold first. Warm your knife in hot water, wipe it dry, and clean the blade between cuts. This simple method gives you the cleanest, most attractive slices every time.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Where can I grab bubblegum flavoring?

You’ll find it in most baking aisles at craft stores, or you can order it online. Vanilla works too for a simple swap.

→ Why not use white chocolate?

Candy melts stay firm at room temperature and hold colors better than white chocolate.

→ How far ahead can I make this?

It’ll keep tasty for up to 2 weeks in a sealed container or 3 weeks refrigerated.

→ What if my fudge isn’t setting right?

Stick to the right ratio of candy melts and condensed milk, and be sure to chill it long enough.

→ Can I switch up the colors?

Absolutely, pick your favorite gel food shades, but skip the liquid kind—it messes with the texture.
